Oh, and for every time you put down the bar during a "bear complex" round, you have to complete 5 burpees after the WOD is over.

Holy painstorm, this workout was tough! The "bear complex" portion was BRUTAL! I worked from 25# to 65#. I was in complete failure by the last push press of my last rep of my last round. I had to drop the bar. While this progression of lifts was a full body workout, my upper body was my limitation. I used a 25# kettle bell for the last portion of the workout. My finish time was 34:25.

I acquired a 10 burpee punishment for putting the barbell down twice during my last round.

It still amazes me how a workout consisting of mostly weight liftting can get my heart rate so high. It was above 160 the whole workout, and I saw some 170's too.

My reward for finishing such a challenging workout was consuming more calories in beer than I worked off during the workout. :( But it was draught so it was worth it.

My shoulders are already so sore, and the only position I am comfortable in is my arms straight over my head. I'm trying to super hydrate, load up on vitamin C, and taking ibuprofen (which is killing two birds with one stone by helping my hangover headache).
